About the practice

Manufacturers face several shifts at once: volatile input costs, fragile supply chains, pressure to decarbonise and a shortage of skilled people. Plants that performed well a few years ago now need a different operating model.

Our Principals have run plants, supply chains and industrial divisions. They help leadership teams raise operational performance, reshape footprints and sourcing, and lead transformation programmes that change how the business works on the shop floor, not only on paper.

We work on site, alongside the people who run the operation, and stay until the improvements hold. The aim is steadier output, lower cost and working capital, and a leadership team that owns the new way of working.

Industrial groups, mid-sized manufacturers, family-owned engineering companies and their investors.

Operational performance, footprint and sourcing, supply chain resilience, transformation programmes.
